Yuling Chen

Beauty is a thematic calling. The exhibition awards… at Craft Ontario has made the texture of everyday life magical. The vibrant colors of craft objects reflect the cold and bright national image of Canada. It is a poetic rendering of Canadian winter. The sculptural forms of fantastical people and images create a new dynamic surrounding the subject such as “me too” movement, women’s rights and universal suffrage. The patterns and quilts tell people they have rights to be upset about the current governmental policies on immigrants, indigenous people and oil economy. Will the movement to make people more equal get their due?
